A Good sfOg.

A family in Woodland has shepherd dog that they would not sell for heap ot money. A few mornings since, the Democrat says, the mother was busy in the house about some important work, while the four-y year-old daughter was playing III the back yard, her ouly com panlon being the family dog. Soon the dug came to the door and began to bark furlously, rearing up against the door, as if to force 1t open. The la ly trie several times to drive him away, but 1t appeared to make him the more persistent. At last she went outside, to see If she could not pacify him. As soon as she opened the door, the dog started toward the back yard, barking and looking around, as if to give her to understand that she must follow. She had not gone far be- fore the screams of her daughter made her aware that there was some meaning to the dogs peculiar actions. She hast cned in the directioh of the screams, and soon found the child had climbed upon .he picket fence, and fallen m such anan- ner as to catch one foot between the pick cts, and there she was hanging, head downward, when the mother arrived. She soon extricated the child from her perilous predicament, and, aside from a scraped ankle, she received no material injury. It would he hard to pile up money enough to l.uy thaf log

And the Man Eetreated.

Speaking of how the cunning dog can derange dramatic performance, !" said Manager Bob Fulford to a party of friends whom he was entertaining at the Westminster hotel one June evening, reminds me that once in Carson City Augusta Dargon was playing Camille. She got along to the last act all right, but in the most absorbing moment of that most sympathetic act the cunning dog of the audience made a jocular remark that set the audience in roar and broke up everything in the piece save Dargon her self. She deliberately arose from her (Camille's) death bed, strode majestically down to the footlights, and in voice of inexorable purpose, said: Ladies and gentlemen, swear to you that will not die until that man is put out of the theatre.
 "The fellow caught as it were the spirit of Dargon's remarks, and retreated just in time to escape being thrown out. Then Dargon went back to her couch and died. ."-Detroit Free Press.

Intelligence of a Dog.

None of my friends ever thought much of me as dog trainer, but I have given an illustration of the great intelligence of inferior animals that will present the great public one of these days with new breed of canines. Ihave trained chicken terrier which in few years should be in active demand by all persons residing in the suburbs or country. There IS dog that will take instructions with all the the gravity of an owl and carry them out to the very letter. When 1 tell that dog to go into the backyard and drive out the strange chickens he will gambol off and lead one brood to the west fence, like mother bringing home her chil- dren, and having dispatched them to their own barn, he will return and size up the crowd. If there are any visitors remaining. he will ''cut them out" to use cowboy phrase. and with unerring sagacity send them to their respective homes. admonishing them with a fero- cious bark that he will chew them if he catches them trespasing among the flower beds. I think this is valuable instinct to develop.-Cor. Globe-Demo- Cr1t

Hints to Mountain Parties.

Dr. Barkan thinks the European moun- tains are to be preferred to those of America by those who climb for their health, principally on the ground that better paths are provided. He makes an exception to this rule in favor of the Adirondacks and some other mountains in the eastern states. In organizing mountain parties everything should, so far as possible, be previously arranged. Regulations should be established as to the gradual increase in the extent of the daily ascents, the periods of rest, the pro- lection of the feet and other parts of ttae body against chating and the formation of blisters. s.-New York Post.

An Anecdot. of Herr Krnnn.

The German papers continue to pub fish numerous anecdotes of the late Herr Krupp. The Vienna Extrabiatt gives the following interesting incident which marked the visit of the Emperor William to the Essen works: The emperor dis played great interest in the working of the steam hammer, and Herr Krupp took tho opportunity of speaking in high praise of the workman who had special charge of it. "Ackerman has a sure eye," he said, "and can stop the falling hammer at any moment. A hand might Do placed on the anvil without fear, and ho would stop the hammer within hairs breadth of it. ''Let us try it, said the empe- TOT, "but not with human hand-try my watch, and he laid 1t, a splendid specimen of work richly set with brill iants, on the anvil. Down came the im- mense mass of steel, and Alderman, with his hand on the lever, stopped it just the sixth of an inch from the watch. When he went to hand it back, the emperor re- piled kindly: "No, Ackerman; keep the watch in memory of an interesting mo- ment. The workman, embarrassed, stood with outstretched hand, net know ing what to do. Krupp came forward and took the watch, saying: Il Il keep il for you if you are afraid to take it from his majesty" A few minutes later they again passed the spot, and Krupp said; "Now you can take the emperor S present from my hand," and handed Ackermcn the watch wrapped up in thousand. mark note.-Boston Transcript.

Graves of Tbre, Grea. ,rsn.

The pink white rock is the only memo rial that marks the grave of Emcrson-a sufficient one for this generation at least, which needs no carved record to mark the burial place of its greatest native spiritual guide. The little slab at the head of the long grave in the inclosure of arbor vite bears upon it the word 'Hawtherne"-that is all. The low head and foot stones have already grown messy and ancient. in the shade on the hill top. And the third gravestone bears upon it the name of Henry D. Thoreau. and the brief record of the birth and death of the man whose wood notes still so widely echo. Where else in all the world can be found the clustering graves of three great men that are so simply marked as these2-Boston Tran script

The Mohawk Camnl.

The Mohawk Canal Company has given Geo. w. Norton contract to complete the Mohawk Canal and its branches by December 31st 1888, and agrees 10 pay him the sum of $lO0,O00 for the work. Excavating will begin at once and pushed along as rapidly as is consistent with good work. The canal will be run through the celebrated Mohawk Valley and wil open up thousands of acres of first class land. Over three miles of the calial is already dug, and the water if turned in would reach the adj jAcent lands, but the intention is to run the al its entire length before admitting any water. This enterprise is of great importance to the people of this County and we are gl lad to to annonnce the news that work is about be renewed.--Yuma Sem nel.

LIQUID FUEL FOR iRoNcLAos.
An Experiment. Ordered by the Russian
 inf ,f Ia, 4

An Experiment. Ordered by the Russian
 Minister of DTarine-An Advantage.
 The Russian minister, of marine has ordered liquid fuel furnaces to be fitted to the ironclad Tchesme, now under course of completion at Sebastopol. The decision is one of very important char acter, since, although liquid fuel has been applied to vessels of fairly large dimen- sions, this is the first time the use of it has been attempted on ironclads.
 On the Caspian sea the Russian admir- atty has used nothing but liquid fuel for its fleet there for the last fifteen years. That fleet, however, consists only of gum boats and small transports. In the Black sea it has applied liquid fuel to two or three torpedo boats, and latterly some steamers, built at St. Petersburg for the Oxus, have been fitted with petroleum furnaces. The government now seems to consider the time ripe for further de- velopments. The best types of furnaces in use in the Caspian have been called upon to yield collectively the best designs for the Tchesme, and in due course the Russian government will solve one way or the other the debated question whether liquid fuel is superior to coal on board men-of-war. The advantages claimed by Russian practice are defined by Mir. Mar. win as follows:
 Liquid fuel can be turned cn or of like gas. thus dispensing with stoking ol banked fires; it is clean and emits nc smoke. A ton of liquid fuel can do the work of two or three tons of coal, occupy ing at the same time, bulk for bulk, abou half the space; and this means that either the vessel can go two or three times al far without stopping to coal, or utilize the bunker space for cargo purposes. IT this manner 1000 tons of oil not only goes as far as 2,500 tons of coal (accord ing to sthe type of furnace use0, bu takes up only the bunker space of 500 O 600 tons, and allows the balance of 2, 00t tons to be applied to passenger or carg' purposes.
 In the case of Russia there is one nor advantage which has probably influences the minister of marine more than any o the foregoing fact that by usin, ' liquid fuel in the Black sea Russia vii render herself independent of Englisl 1 coal.- Broad Arrow.

The Barmaids of London.

The %, 900 women employed in pour ing liquor down the huge throat of thirsty London are young and good look ing. The first requisite demanded of the baEmaid is that she shall be pretty, and the second that she shall not be under 16 nor over 30, though many publicans and sinners draw the line at 25 years of age. Her popular name is Polly. Polly, as a rule, has a skin wholesome in it's pink and whiteness, and not averse to little dimples. A thick crop of curly hair is cut close to her head, and her eyes. be they black or blue, are sure to be fine. Polly's poorest feature is her mouth, for it is coarsely cut, and only the redness of her lips and her splendid teeth make one forget the glimpse of her gums when she laughs A black dress, a white collar and coquettish apron give an air of refinement and neatness not always native.
 It is taken for granted that Polly must be light of foot and delft of hand. She must be honest in money matters and good tempered. Above all. she must not be squeamish. To the gilded youth of Great Britain the barmaid IS a special joy, a creation for his benefit, and he is quick to pick out the prettiest one behind the bar. There she is, chained to her place as securely as if to log. He can stare at her as long and as meaningly as he likes. He can say bad words and she dare not resent it, because he has ordered brandy and soda. Then he tells her a stale joke, or compliments her in the coarsest of terms, interlarded with ire quent my dears," and she has to smile and look as if she liked it, and by and by she comes to like it, and that's where the mischief begins.-Mrs. Robert P. Porter in New Orleans Times-Democrat.

TucsoS has reason to feel proud of the

TUcsoN has reason to feel proud of the success with which the ceremonies at. tending the sword presentation to Gen ial Miles were carried out ard also with it's subsequent Inequalities so generous ly bestowed upon the honored guest. The city of Tucson does not alone enjoy the glory of the graud occasion, but the Territory at large shares it's honors and no sectional feeling occurred to mar the harmony of the ceremonies last Tuesday, but every expression was in good taste and in sympathy with the sentiment that prompted the grateful event.
 The address of Judge W. H. Barnes led up from historical fleets facts in Apache barbarism, in which the Indian was pictured with the faithful ness of perfect mirror, and in the most touching and eloquent language he re- vealed from among the black clouds of gloom the first faint gleams of the rain bow of hope that speedily expanded its radiant eolors above the entire field of carnage and filled the hearts of grate- ful people full of joy and sladness at their deliverance from oppression and woe. The offering of these people to the distinguished commander was not trlb- ute to his renown as a military chief tain,  but it was slight testimonial of the gratitude of long suffering people to the source of their deliverance.
 General Miles responded feelingly to the address and accepted the token in the spirit with which it Was rendered He gave proper credit to his officers and soldiers upon whom the burden of the conquest largely depended, and acknowl- edged his indebtedness to the citizens of Arizona and to the frank expressions ol its press for many acts of assistance and information that all contributed in d greater or less degree to the successful termination of the campaign.
 Following the presentation cerem on les brilliant banquet was given and th' people, one and all, gave free expression of their regard to the General
 Perhaps, amid all the brilliancy that pervades the social life of military off cials in times of peace, General Mile may have received more elegant and dag zling ovAtions, but he certainly neve met with more sincere and spontane ous expression of good will and gratitude from people who have not learned tn, vice of dissimulation in :he severe schoo of theIr frontier experience. As home ly and unpublished as the event may ap pear in comparison with other and nor -iwposlns eeaionstrations,- it possessed tli rare merit of being real gem of tn purest water which will forever be re membered by it's recipient with prou qualification that the most fulsome hat tery of subservient courtiers in show pomp can never approach.

pemoralizing to the Toads.

Some sharp observer in Westfeld has discovered that the electric lights recently placed on the more retired streets are de moralizing to the toads. It is asserted that these useful batrachians, attracted by the brilliant light when the streets are quiet, gather by dozens under it and hold high revels. The greatly enlarged shad- ows of countless insects fluttering around the light fall upon the ground, and the innocent toads, thinking them to be real, hop about in all directions to catch them, making it seem as though they were going through merry cotilion.-Spring- field (Mass.)

pomp can never approach.

THROUGH the efforts of the ENTERPRISE the wonderful resources of Pinal county are becoming widely known and gener- ally discussed not only in other portions to various places in southern Arizona We meet friendly recognition of these re- sources with expressions of faith Tn the grand future that awaits our valley Men who read of our rich mines and fer tile lands with ample water to irrigate them, are eager to learn more about this specially favored section aud ply our citizens whom they chance to meet with all sorts of inquiries. They can hadly credit the truth of even the mos. con servative reports they hear of Pinal coun- tvs astonishing resources and not few express belief that some eompensating evil must underlie all the good that sur rounds us. They do not look for such earthly perfection even in Arizona, but it requires only short personal visit to our beautiful valley to convince the most skeptical that the half of our wonders have not been told them. No shrewd business man of speculative impulses can visit our valley with money in his pocket and not invest in farming lands or town property. It is an investment that will surely double in value every year until the limit oi legitimate interest upon the capital represented fixes its permanent value. When such time arrives our val ley will be blossoming garden and Flor. ence will be magnificent city, and our people will be the envy of the whole world for their good fortune in possess ing homes in a locality that is but littl, inferior to paradise itself.

IN his recent researches among the ancient ruins near Salt river and along the Glla, Professor Frank Cushing has enriched archaeological lore by many in- terestlng discoveries. The old tombs of the prehistoric people have shown how they looked and great deal of valuable information has rewarded his labors. All along the Gila river from Florence down towards the Colorado these interestine ruins may be seen, and if the Smi tbson- ian Institute will keep up it's good work in excavating the mounds that mark the decay of ancient buildings, much of the history of the former dwellers of the val ley can be woven from the fragments that have resisted the ravages of time.
